The Invincible Iron Man story arc in the comic series saw Potts being given her own suit specially designed for her. She went on to call herself Rescue while wearing it.

"Everyone at this table thinks it would be the coolest thing in the world to see Pepper get in the suit at some point," said Kevin Feige of Marvel.

Director of the first two Iron Man films and co-star of all three Jon Favreau added: "We almost did it a few times; we talked about it a lot. I think we all share your enthusiasm for that, and we all want to see Gwyneth kick a little ass."

Iron Man 3 is currently in production, but it is currently not known if Paltrow will suit up in the film or in a future project.
